I was going to buy the black Data Wheel and black Cursor from Akai but they were taking to long with my order cuz they were out of stock.

It went on for about 2 months with them having no parts for me so I got frustrated and cancelled my order. Instead Im going to paint them like the rest of my buttons. I painted the cursor but then I ran out of paint. When I get a chance Im going to finish up...

Its nothing crazy. Real simple, yet its got my flavor to it...

I thought about selling mine plenty of times because I never use it, But I just can't do it. I remember how I felt when I sold my 2000XL. "I thought I was going to need counseling". But aaayyy, Everything has it's price. If some one offered me $1500.00 for the MPC with both casings and the stand, I would probably take it but it would still be very hard to let go.

For reals I waited 2 months for that ****... Fvck that Akai was taking to long

And I just sold it like 20 minutes ago. Was sad to see it being carried away... but the big wad of cash in my hand cheers me up a bit.

I'll continue making music, but for now, until I get out of this rough patch I'm going through, I'll have to stick to software.

Maybe I'll buy a cheap MPD controller, so that at least I still have some pads to bang on :lol:

All the buttons were painted by me... The only buttons I didnt paint were the clear ones.

Im planning on getting a StyleFlip. Just plain black with green lettering... Im trying to get rid of all the red. :twisted:

Im also going to paint the top red portion of the REC GAIN on the knob to green. I was going to wait to do all of this but whats the point... Its nothing crazy so I might aswell show you guys what I have done so far.

Im also going to change the red LED's to GREEN. Been wanting to do that since I first got my MPC. I cant stand those red LED's.
